We really enjoyed our stay at this Virginia Beach house. The location was awesome — just about a 3-minute walk to the beach, which made it super easy, especially with our dog.The house was very clean, comfortable, and well taken care of. There were four adults staying, and we had more than enough space. Everything we needed was there, and it felt like a place you could actually relax in, not just sleep.It was great to find such a dog-friendly place, and the area was quiet and nice for walks. Overall, it was an easy, comfortable stay, and we’d definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

The check-in was seamless. The property was clean, and the pictures were accurate. It had everything we needed for a long weekend of golf, dominoes, and watching football. It's directly on Atlantic Avenue but road noise was not overwhelming, and beach access was worth it. Easy drive or Uber to restaurants etc. I would definitely stay again.

Great Beach Retreat!

Great location, just steps from the beach. The house is well equipped with anything you might need and having a washer and dryer wads a huge bonus. Plenty of beach chairs and toys were included too. We would 100% rent again.
